HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digest +Probiotics by Enzymedica

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 21 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Digest+Probiotics contains 21 ingredients: live probiotic bacteria (including Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. paracasei, L. casei, L. salivarius, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus DDS-1, and Bacillus subtilis DE-111) and digestive enzymes (Lipase, Amylase, Protease, Glucoamylase, Cellulase, Alpha Galactosidase, Lactase, Maltase, Xylanase, Invertase, Pectinase, and Hemicellulase). The probiotics are meant to support gut bacteria balance, while the enzymes help break down food.

The capsule itself is made from 100% vegetarian material.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive comfort and enzyme support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

For L. acidophilus, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. Bacillus subtilis DE-111 is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. For L. bulgaricus and the enzyme Lipase, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate their effectiveness.

The data on the other ingredients in this product is not established in the facts we have available.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L. acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though the facts advise checking with your doctor before use. Rare gastrointestinal side effects like mild discomfort, bloating, or diarrhea have been reported when probiotics are combined, and very rarely, rash or itching.

There is a theoretical concern that live probiotics could cause serious infection in people who are very ill or severely immunocompromised, though this is uncommon. L. bulgaricus and Bacillus subtilis are generally well tolerated in healthy people; however, those who are very ill or immunocompromised should be cautious.

Lactase is generally well tolerated; rare allergy has been reported in people exposed to powdered lactase. Lipase has no reported adverse effects in adults, though safety data is limited.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 184 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start this product, double-check any antibiotic drugs you take. Antibiotics can kill the live probiotics in this supplement and make it less effective.

Your pharmacist can help you time the doses right. No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.

Formulation

Enzyme deficiencies may result from a combination of age, diet and lifestyle. These deficiencies can lead to a variety of digestive discomforts, including occasional gas, bloating, irregularity and indigestion. Fortifying the digestive system with enzymes and probiotics may promote optimal digestion while maintaining the digestive system's natural balance to support overall digestive health. Digest +Probiotics contains an advanced formula that breaks down carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein. Probiotics provide additional digestive support by boosting enzyme production and promoting regularity.

Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work in various pH levels. Thera-blend enzymes have been shown to be three times stronger and work more than six times faster than leading digestive supplements.

Probiotic Blend1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Protease Thera-Blend1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Digest +Probiotics by Enzymedica: Common Questions

Does Digest +Probiotics by Enzymedica interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digest +Probiotics has a known interaction with 184 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digest +Probiotics contains 13 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this work if I'm on an antibiotic?
The antibiotics will likely kill off some of the live probiotics in the supplement, which means it won't work as well. But that doesn't mean you can't take both—just separate them by a few hours. Ask your pharmacist for the exact timing based on your antibiotic.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data on these probiotic and enzyme supplements while breastfeeding is limited. The facts don't give us a clear safety rating for breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Is it safe in pregnancy?
Safety data in pregnancy is limited or not well studied for most of these ingredients. The one exception is lactase, which is rated likely safe in pregnancy. For the others, check with your doctor before use.
What does lactase do in this product?
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar in milk and dairy products. It's effective for lactose intolerance if that's something you deal with.
Could this cause side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. Rarely, people report mild gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, discomfort, or diarrhea when taking probiotics. Very rarely, rash or itching has been reported. If you're very ill or immunocompromised, talk to your doctor first.
What are the enzymes in here for?
The enzymes—lipase, amylase, protease, and others—are meant to help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in food so your body can digest them better.
